Simple solution to not being allowed to kneel in the Nfl

Change it to something else

Maybe cross arms in solidarity

Maybe turn there backs on the crowd

Heck, there is a number of things that they do.

Make them keep changing the rules-

F&ck them

All this fake outrage over pretending that kneeling before a football game is, suddenly and unlike in every other kneeling situation, offensive is all one giant excuse to smack down black people for whining about getting shot by the police.

Come up with any solution you want to the kneeling "problem", it's all bullshit because it's a fake problem. They'll happily keep changing the rules as long as they don't have to do anything about black people getying killed by the police.

Sorry for being strident but don't let the frame the debate. The kneeling is to get us talking about black peoples getting killed by the police, not to get us talking about the niceties or protesting.

Hands up, clasped on the backs of their heads. I think that message would be clear. Maybe those protesting could write DON'T SHOOT on the backs of their hands as below, readable only when they're clasped.

Left hand Right hand
DO N'T
